The recently teased Toyota Innova Hycross will be unveiled in India on November 25, 2022, the company has announced. The new Innova Hycross will be an all-new offering and is expected to co-exist with the Innova Crysta currently on sale. The big update rumoured is the new monocoque chassis underpinning the Hycross as well as the new hybrid powertrain. There's won't be a diesel engine on offer, as per speculations. It's noteworthy to know that Toyota recently discontinued the diesel version of the Innova Crysta and a hybrid option could be seen as a replacement for that. Ahead of its India unveil, the Innova Hycross is expected to make its global debut in Indonesia. However, Toyota might likely use a slightly different moniker for the global markets. We expect the company to officially launch the Toyota Innova Hycross next year, possibly at the 2023 Auto Expo, should the company participate.

The upcoming Toyota Innova Hycross will be based on the company’s modular TNGA-C platform and will be underpinned by monocoque chassis and a front-wheel-drive layout. The current Innova Crysta is built on a ladder-frame construction and comes with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain layout. The MPV will also come with new engine options – a regular petrol powertrain (possibly featuring a mild-hybrid system) and a strong hybrid petrol engine. The Urban Cruiser Hyryder gets a similar setup, however, the Innova Hycross is expected to get more powerful 2.0-litre units.
The Toyota Innova Hycross will be offered in two engine options, including a new strong hybrid engine.
Based on the global teaser, and the photos of the test mule, which was spotted in India in October 2022, the upcoming Innova Hycross will come with a host of design and styling upgrades. The updates will include - a new front grille, and new aggressive-looking headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. The new Innova Hycross will also feature strong character lines on the bonnet below which is the reprofiled bumper and redesigned fog lamp housing. The design changes are expected to be more radical in flesh, giving a completely refreshed look to the MPV.
